This morning, the meeting room of Huo's senior management was extremely lively.

Because of the news about the South China Sea project, all the directors, big and small, were present. Together with the senior management of the Lu Group led by Ye Jinfan, the whole conference room was full, and a few extra chairs were added.

However, the meeting originally scheduled to start at eight o'clock was repeatedly postponed——

Huo Jinxi was the last one to enter the conference room. It was exactly eight o'clock, but just as he sat down, Qi Yuan suddenly walked in from the outside quickly and whispered a few words next to Huo Jinxi. Huo Jinxi then stood up

He stood up and said: "Everyone, wait a moment, there are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with."

After saying this, Huo Jinxi left the conference room, leaving a group of directors and senior executives whispering in the conference room.

Ye Jinfan was among them, but he just sneered.

Pretending to be mysterious.

The more this happened, the more certain he became that this meeting would not have any substantive content.

Amid the uneasy thoughts of all Huo's shareholders, Ye Jinfan waited calmly and even closed his eyes to rest in a rather noisy environment.

At about half past eight, Huo Jinxi walked into the conference room again.

The conference room fell silent instantly, everyone raised their eyes to look at him, and Ye Jinfan slowly opened his eyes.

However, before Huo Jinxi could sit down, his cell phone suddenly rang again. Huo Jinxi glanced at the phone, gestured to everyone, and then walked out of the conference room again after picking up the phone.

The whole house was in an uproar.

"What's going on? Can this meeting still be held?"

"That's right! What time is it now? What needs to be explained will have to be explained sooner or later. How long will this be postponed?"

"Don't be impatient. Maybe Jin Xi is thinking of a way to solve this matter... Do you really want to see such an important project go bankrupt?"

Suddenly, everything was said in the conference room.

Ye Jinfan closed his eyes again.

Obviously, no one in the Huo family understands their boss well enough.

When Huo Jinxi finally walked into the conference room for the third time, everyone's emotions in the conference room had almost reached their peak, just waiting for an explosion——

Huo Jinxi sat down and faced the various gazes from everyone. After briefly flipping through the documents in front of him, he raised his head and met the various gazes around the conference table. Finally, his eyes rested on Ye Jinfan.

Ye Jinfan happened to be looking at him too. When the two looked at each other, Ye Jinfan even smiled.

There was no smile on Huo Jinxi's face.

He sat there, paused for a few seconds, and then said: "Without further ado, I believe that everyone sitting neatly in this conference room today is all for the South China Sea project, so I will explain to you now

Be clear - there are indeed some problems with the South China Sea project and it needs to be suspended."

In an instant, there was an explosion in the conference room——

"What went wrong? How can such an important project be suspended just because it's said to be suspended?"

"This is a project in cooperation with the government. What problems will cause it to be suspended due to investigation?"

"How do you operate it? Do you pay enough attention to the project that you have invested so much money in?"

Huo Jinxi sat quietly in his chair, looking at the chattering crowd with deep eyes, but did not answer the question.

Until one of the shareholders said: "According to the news I received, there are some problems with environmental protection. Is this true?"

Then everyone looked at Huo Jinxi again, quieted down, and waited for his response.

Huo Jinxi then slowly said: "I believe everyone is aware of the special nature of the South China Sea. The reason why we have only begun to develop it now is because of its important geographical, economic and strategic value. This is an area that has attracted worldwide attention.

It is a key area, so its development must be cautious and cautious.”

Everyone held their breath and listened quietly, waiting for Huo Jinxi to continue.

"Some time ago, the relevant departments received a report accusing us of destroying the ecology of the South China Sea during our development, causing some irreparable consequences. During the verification by the relevant departments, it was regrettable that we did not do a good job in this area, so

, now this project must be suspended, waiting for new plans and arrangements."

"What is the plan? How to arrange it?" Some shareholders shouted, "Can a project worth tens of billions of dollars be explained in just a few sentences?"

Everyone agreed with indignation.

Huo Jinxi once again waited for everyone to calm down, and then said: "The relevant departments will issue a special document today, requiring us to make rectification and make up for it. We have tried our best to fight for this, but when it comes to the South China Sea, the relevant departments

The attitude is tough and there is no room for change. Therefore, we can only make our best efforts in the subsequent rectification and make-up work, strive to gain recognition from relevant departments, and restart the project as soon as possible."

"Then the project must be suspended now, and there is no room for reversal?"

"yes."

"So when can the project be restarted?"

"Right now, we have just received this news. We have to make plans and carry out relevant work before we can draw a conclusion on the specific situation." Huo Jinxi said, "But I promise that I will try to shorten the time difference as much as possible to avoid

Cause greater losses. In addition, the board of directors will have a series of new project plans to deal with the impact of the suspension of the Hainan project on Huo. We will discuss this at a later internal meeting.

.”

"Such a big plan, such a big investment, even if it is only suspended for three days, the losses will be immeasurable. Are you sure that the board of directors' project plan can make up for this loss?"

"About this, there will be a detailed answer at the internal meeting later. Please be patient." Huo Jinxi said, "At that time, everyone will choose to continue to believe in me and our board of directors, or they will be held accountable.

, there will be enough time and opportunity.”

After saying that, Huo Jinxi turned his eyes to Ye Jinfan again and said: "Now, I want to discuss the South China Sea project with our partners. You can take a break first and give Mr. Ye and me ten minutes.

time."

After all, Huo Jinxi was the unequivocal decision-maker of the Huo family. Although everyone was full of anger at the moment, thinking that he would make an explanation later, they could only hold back for a while, got up and left.

Not long after, Huo Jinxi and Ye Jinfan were the only two people left in the conference room.

Ye Jinfan remained motionless in his seat, staring intently at his cell phone.

On his phone, there was a message he had just received——

"We have verified with the relevant departments that the South China Sea project is indeed suspended due to environmental issues. It is reported that an insider reported the relevant issues to the authorities, and it is very likely that they are people from the Huo family."

Ye Jinfan read every word of the message repeatedly, as if it had been a long time before he finally understood the meaning conveyed by the message.

Then, he finally raised his head and looked at Huo Jinxi, a member of the Huo family.

Huo Jinxi sat on the chair and stared at him calmly, waiting for his statement.

After another moment, Ye Jinfan finally laughed silently, "Mr. Huo wants to use the South China Sea project to deal with me. Is the price too high?"

"Is it big?" Huo Jinxi said, "I don't think so."

"If this project is suspended for one day, it will be a loss of tens of millions for Huo." Ye Jinfan said, "Are you sure you can bear such consequences?"

"Nothing." Huo Jinxi replied, "Once this project is restarted, all Huo's losses can be recovered. At the moment, these are insignificant."

"Oh?" Ye Jinfan said, "It seems that Mr. Huo knows when this project will be restarted?"

"Yes." Huo Jinxi said slowly, "Whenever you surrender to the police and explain all your crimes, this project will be restarted."

Ye Jinfan suddenly laughed uncontrollably. After laughing, he took a long breath and said, "What if I never surrender?"

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Huo has time and can afford to wait." Huo Jinxi said, "But you can't afford to wait."

After saying that, Huo Jinxi knocked on the computer in front of him, and the surveillance video of the lobby of Huo's company was quickly projected on the curtain behind him.

In the surveillance room, the men sent by Mr. Jin to monitor Ye Jinfan were standing there, watching the people coming and going with vigilance, with a faint bloodthirsty light in their eyes.
